We should have won. But I’d have settled for a point before the game. Ramsdale brilliant. |

we had a 3 on 2 at the very end that a calmer ball would have put Saka 1v1 in to win it |

Feel sick after that. Feels like we were robbed. But they missed a soft pen. Turned on that ludicrous decision for the foul on Xhaka for me. Such a signal of what’s going on. |

Thank goodness for Ramsdale! I would have take a point at the beginning so that goes down disappointing but not devastating. |

If only we kept the pressure on till end of the first half. Alas, we were very nearly there. |

So much for the new Arsenal mentality. Two nil up and in control, it was brown trouser time from then on. A miracle that Liverpool didn't take all three after that second half. |

Most times a draw at Anfield is a good result, but can't help feeling disappointed after being 2 up. On to the next one. |

We threw that away with a weak mentality but Arteta's game management was piss poor today. It was obvious Zinchenko's weakness as a defender and tendency to wander out of position was going to be exploited, he should have put Tierney on at LB at halftime, taken off Xhaka and pushed Zinny into central midfield. I thought Ben White was shite, Ødegaard was anonymous and Xhaka was his old idiotic self. Ramsale was superb and saved us from getting beat. |

They made it a fight and were allowed to make it a fight. There were no huge decisions that decided the game as I thought Tierney would send one of ours off - but the momentum shift was allowed to go unchecked. Look at the late chances we had as well. It was a game that could have gone either way. At Anfield you are always going to come under huge pressure at some point and need your gk to make saves. We were 5 minutes away - it was hardly a bottle job some will make it out to be |

These are the games where you learn what yer arse is for. Should’ve won that. We are a proper team - better than them. Excellent game for the rest of the world. |

I think we as the fans need to move away from the 'weak mentality' stuff today. I don't think you can see what we've done this season and then say we've suddenly gone weak. Sometimes results don't have anything to do with anything going on between your ears, sometimes you're under pressure and the other team deserve the goals and points they get - it doesn't always have to be psychological. This was Liverpool's cup final - they rested played at Chelsea so they could go full throttle at this and we played them off the park for half of that game, then they came back at us once the game became unstructured and a battle |

We were lucky to get a point in the end. |

Lesson for the travelling support, don't sing 'we're gonna win the league' after 30 minutes at Anfield. Thought Arteta was struck with inertia in the second half. Liverpool still have great players but we weren't clever enough to deal with a biased ref and switched momentum. Overall, though a point is ok and in the cold light of day it will be accepted as such. |

Roy Keane has just said Arsenal should be delighted with the point and defending that Kop is just incredibly difficult. Keane isn't known for his low standards. I think you can always look at games with hindsight, zinchenko was still the best way of us having any form of control when we had the ball in the second half. It is too easy to say changing your left-back would have won that game for us. |

. Even at 2 -0 up I wasn't confident . Went back to bed couldn't bear the disappointment of relinquishing that lead which I was certain would happen . Bugger is it is the title race is not in our hands anymore , six points clear Citee have a game in hand .... they win that they are three behind , they beat us in our encounter and they are level with a vastly superior goal difference . With that enormous lumbering albino ***%$ leading their attack if I'm betting the house on it I think we will come up just short . |

I think the problem Arteta has is when he looks at the bench he doesn't see many options to slot in to the side and play the game how he wants to play it. yes he can do a straight swap at LB and he can bring Trossard on - but that is really about it. swapping the LB is a very different way for us to play - and to be honest if I was to either back Arteta's tactical decisions vs fans who react with hindsight. There was not one person on the forum who said zinchenko should be subbed off for Tierney at any point in the game |

They were getting some joy down our left and it just seemed the obvious change to make. Put on a quicker more defensively solid LB and allow Zinny to express his obvious quality in the Xhaka role. |
